Chris_ Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 With the days getting longer, Monday’s can end better Good grief those bars are flared!  Noob question - are they bent out like that so you can get a mtb wide grip on a 'road bike' handlebar? Wayne pudding Mol 1

Wayne pudding Mol Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 BUSTED!!! That top tube bag is CLEARLY empty.correct but not entirely - I got cold on the way back and my jacket on. But it does live on there because I generally ride in a tshirt. Jacket, tools, sunblock, lip balm, emergency gel and gate remote are permanently in there and I add phone That said I would ride with it empty anyway as I am unable to grow a hipster beard Pikey 1

It always carried my tools, spare dropouts, tube, levers, a buff, food etc. I always rode it with that extra 2kg’s worth of stuff in it. And yes...space for my own and the wife’s extra layers. Then also place for keys,phone, wallet. Now i don't know where to put everything anymore. I somehow feel unprepared haha. Frame bags are super underrated imo. Wayne pudding Mol 1

Frame bags are super underrated imo.the other day I put a small flask in it and a peanut butter sarmie - stopped at the top of a big long hill I've discovered.  Really cool.  I actually bought this Farr one to use as a template to make my own leather one.  As usual I haven't gotten around to that project MORNE and Pikey 2
